Individual Details

Peter served his time as Ship's Carpenter and went to sea. He "lost i s reason" (not very badly) but was put into the Asylum. In the first wee k he was there, he refused to move from the seat he was on at the table . The two keepers laid hold of him and dashed him down on the floor and k icked him till they killed him. There was no redress as none saw the affa ir but the other patients and their word was not accepted, but the keeper s were discharged. His Uncle Robert wrote that he "saw the body and the w ounds and bruises were enough to have killed anyone". The matter was hush ed up and the rascals got free.
